    Plug and play out of the box

    Bought this external DVD-CD Player for my new Dell desktop computer. Most new computers don't have these optical drives built in anymore as most people stream. Good price when on sale. Works well. Just plugged it into the computer with the USB cord that came with it and it played CDs. So no installation except to plug it into the computer USB port. It's solid. Lightweight, 7 ounces. It can also burn CDs and DVDs, but I probably won't have to do that. The only problem was getting the protective film peeled off the new device. Finally, I put a piece of Scotch tape on the film and it loosened it and lifted it up. It was a bit of a hassle to get my local Best Buy store to price match Amazon. I had to go through two cashiers and then a manager. And to find the product in the store I had to ask three associates. The device is a bit noisy. Appearance is nice. Four stars because I haven't burned any CDs or DVDs.

    Only for DVD or CD users

    I compared products and read reviews before making this purchase. The positive reviews influenced my decision to get this external drive, as my computer with a built-in DVD player was acting out and taking forever to load. This drive is a great buy because you don’t need to install a software in order to run it.

    Great external slim drive

    Price was too good to pass up. I only needed this for a one time deal. I needed to use my windows 10 rig to burn a Linux disc for my old MacBook. Since then I’ve been popping in music cds from my “flash back 90’s huge book of CDs” and importing them into iTunes. You can barely see it sitting on the desk.
